For the past month, all of #mannschool has been working on the school wide writing prompt, "If I lived in....". We were assigned the continent of Australia. The following happened because of a simple prompt:

read nonfiction books to learn about the continent and its people, places, and landmarks.

collectively researched things online that were interesting to us.

used Google Earth on our iPads to help us tour through the main attractions of the continent.

organized our thoughts and findings onto a note organizer.

interviewed two Australians on Skype, getting a window into the daily Australian life.

wrote one (or two) rough drafts and made corrections.

wrote a final draft using a pen!

made a fun way to present our writing.
